Story
Blue Star Academy is a school set in a fictional world, a place where the most talented useless talented teens come together.
Your name is Noam, a student at this prestigious institution, and today marks your very first mission.
You can must get to pick a partner maybe even more than one? to join you on this journey. Here’s hoping you get along with them and don’t end up at each other’s throats.
When exploring, forging a friendship should be very easy, right? That’d be so awesome…
Wait… is that sounds a bit too naive?
I don’t know… honestly, I’m clueless. Am I wasting Nutopia by using it like this?
Sooner or later, I’ll have to face reality, won’t I? I just hope I can gain enough experience from all this to tackle things that seem trivial to most people…… I'm so pathetic……

The way the main character moves in real-world scenes is pretty straightforward and gets the job done.
The "monster" design, which kinda represents the character's inner fears, is actually pretty cool, but there's still some wiggle room to spice things up.
The story's got a nice flow, and the way the plot's set up, you can spot all these little clues and connections sprinkled throughout. Plus, the pacing's on point too.
And the way the protagonist externalizes his fear in the virtual game is also very ingenious.
Looking forward to the release of the complete game!❤
Thanks for your reply! I’m thrilled that you like the monster design—it really took a lot of effort!
There’s still plenty of room for improvement though, knowing you appreciate it truly means a lot.
Thanks again! I'd love to get more feedback. Feel free to share more feasible suggestions or thoughts!
